Not All Eyes Are the Same – Here's How to Pick the Right Lashes
A Complete Guide by TDANCE
At TDANCE, we know that the key to flawless lash extensions isn’t just about volume or curl—it's about customization. Each client’s eye shape is beautifully unique, and choosing the right lash style can enhance their natural features in the most flattering way.
Whether you’re a seasoned lash artist or just getting started in the world of lashing, this guide will help you confidently select the best lash extensions for every eye shape using TDANCE’s professional-grade products.
✨ Why Eye Shape Matters
Lash extensions are not “one style fits all.” The same set of lashes can look completely different depending on eye shape, eyelid structure, and bone structure. By tailoring the lash design—length, curl, thickness, and mapping—you’ll not only highlight your client’s best features but also provide them with a comfortable, long-lasting result.

🛠️ Application Tips from TDANCE Pros
-
Customize by eye AND face shape. Don’t just look at the eyes—consider nose bridge, forehead length, and cheekbone height.
-
Always map before you start. Mapping templates are your best friend. Don’t guess.
-
Use lightweight lashes for sensitive or hooded eyes. Overly thick lashes can cause drooping.
-
Keep your tools sharp and clean. TDANCE tweezers and glues are made for precision work—keep them in top condition.
